3,000 feet, though 1 have seen it occasionally at 2,000. It is 

 undoubtedly the most handsome Acacia to be found in these 

 mountains." [He is writing from Batlow, and is speaking of the 

 Batlow Forest Reserve, a new locality.]

This lias hitherto only been recorded from the Kowmung 

 district, N.S.W., and so a second locality, Cox's River, foot 

 of Mount Solitary, via Wentworth Falls (D, W. O. Shiress) 

 which is a number of miles to the north (it is difficult to 

 measure distances in this broken country) is worthy of 

 record.

In Plate 200, Part liii of my "Forest Flora of New South 

 Wales," these forms are figured. In bringing (b) under (a) 

 I followed Bentham and Mueller, and in bringing (c) under 

 (a) I followed Mueller, but I have arrived at the conclusion 

 that they should be kept as distinct species. They seem 

 sufficiently dealt with in the work in question.

A. DELTOIDEA A. Ounil. 



(Syn. A. stipulosa F.v.M.) 



In B. Fl. ii, 379, Bentham, speaking of A. stipulosa, says 

 "Very near A. deltoidea, differing chiefly in the flowers 

 twice as large, and in the proportion of the calyx and 

 corolla." In my experience there are no important differ- 

 ences in the size of the flowers. But a specimen is before 

 me (Fitzroy River, A. Forrest) with ahead of flowers twice 

 as large as normal, but they are swollen as the result of 

 insect action. Mueller had not finally made up his mind 

 as to specific differences, for in Fragm. xi, 117, speaking of 

 A. stipulosa, he says, "species A. deltoidece ulterius com- 

 paranda."
